Georgina Taylor rescues father and son cut off by tide
Tenby’s RNLI Inshore lifeboat was requested to launch shortly after 4.30pm on Monday 19th February after a report from a father and son that they were cut off by the incoming tide between 1st Point and Waterwynch.
The volunteer crew were quickly on the water and soon spotted the pair on rocks close to Waterwynch.
The helmsman took the lifeboat into the rocks, where the casualties were taken aboard. They were then checked over in case any medical attention was required, before being dropped to their waiting family and Tenby Coastguard Team on Tenby’s North Beach.
The lifeboat the returned to station, arriving at 5.10pm.
